BEFORE OMAR MATEEN charged into the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and killed 49 people in June 2016, the FBI conducted two so-called assessments, the bureau’s term of art for limited national security investigations that do not require probable cause. In both cases, the bureau determined that Mateen was not a potential terrorist. During the attack, while barricaded in a bathroom, Mateen suggested to hostage negotiators that he had committed the nightclub massacre in response to U.S. airstrikes in Syria and Iraq, including one that killed senior Islamic State member Abu Wahib. “You have to tell America to stop bombing Syria...

Shortened title. Full title: Pulse Club Killer’s Father Seddique Mateen Was Paid Informant of Mueller, Comey FBI – Under Investigation by FBI On June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old security guard, killed 49 people and wounded 58 others in a terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. During the massacre Omar Mateen reportedly pledged his allegiance to Abu Baghdadi and ISIS.

The wife of Omar Mateen, who committed a massacre in the Pulse nightclub in 2016, reportedly told the FBI that she knew about his plot beforehand — and did nothing to stop it. Noor Salman — whose husband gunned down 49 people in the club — told investigators that she “knew that her husband was going to attack the Pulse nightclub” when he left the house on the night of June 11 last year, according to documents obtained by USA Today. “My fears had come true and he did what he said he was going to do,” Salman said, according...

Long time CTH readers will note we extended well over a year of benefit-of-the-doubt to the motives of former FBI Director James Comey with regard to the severity of his politicized nature and disposition. Throughout the entire Clinton investigation we remained ambivalent to Comey’s motives. Indeed it wasn’t until after the Pulse nightclub terrorist attack when Comey obtusely noted the FBI had been contacted (prior to the attack) about the sketchy behavior of Omar Mateen by a ‘random concerned citizen’ -and our finding that the actual ‘citizen’ was the far more substantive St Lucie county sheriff Ken Mascara– that we...

The widow of a shooter who killed 49 people in a Florida nightclub last year is reportedly on her way to Orlando, Fla., to face federal charges of aiding her husband in the attack. Salman's lawyer, Charles Swift of the Texas-based Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America, said Wednesday it will be up to the Marshals Service to decide when she will be transferred. The charges are aiding her husband in providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, namely the Islamic State; and obstructing justice by misleading local police and the FBI when she was questioned in the...

An ex-convict who posted anti-Islamic rants online pleaded no contest Monday to setting fire to a mosque that the Orlando nightclub shooter occasionally attended was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Joseph Schreiber, dressed in a burnt orange jumpsuit, his wrists and ankles shackled, pleaded no contest during Monday's hearing before Circuit Judge Steven Levin. Schreiber answered Levin's questions in a clear, unwavering voice before sentencing. A no contest plea is treated the same as a guilty plea. He had confessed to detectives that he set fire to the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce last Sept. 11, the 15th anniversary...

Color us shocked: Shocker, Omar Mateen wasn't a gay-hating gun nut inspired by decades of right-wing talk radio You’ll obviously remember that, on June 12, Omar Mateen walked into an Orlando-area gay nightclub and started shooting. He murdered 49 innocent people and injured 53 others. What you may not remember is that police stormed the club - and killed Mateen - only after they’d spent several hours trying to convince him to surrender. Liberals, as usual, spent the following days trying to blame anything other than Islam for Mateen’s attack. At various times he was portrayed as a crazed homophobe,...

This is a modified headline from the original story, because the ultra-liberal, gay-infused WFTV would never miss a chance to portray gays as victims and make excuses for jihadist killers. Read the transcripts of the telephone calls between the killer and the Orlando Police Department at the link. Sorry, but I can't get them to cut/paste here. You can clearly see that even though murderer Mateen was killing patrons at a bar frequented by gays, his religious rage was directed at America, not gays. It’s very simple. We have to kill them before they CONTINUE to kill us. The Donald...

ORLANDO, Fla. - Transcripts of 911 calls between Pulse gunman, Omar Mateen and dispatchers were released Friday by the Orlando Police Department. Three calls were made between Mateen and dispatchers. Mateen called first at 2:35 a.m. June 12. Mateen was in the nightclub’s bathroom with several hostages, police said. Mateen told dispatchers his name and then pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. When dispatchers tried to get more information from him, he said he was in Orlando and hung up, according to the transcripts. A man identified only as Andy, a crisis negotiator for Orlando police, called Mateen at 2:48...

Let’s review the FBI’s track record over the past 3 years:They investigated the Boston Bombers and found no reason for concern, thereby clearing any hurdles in the path of the Tsarnaev brothers to accomplish their goal of wreaking death and havoc on the Boston Marathon.Comey’s FBI were also investigating the “Draw Muhammad” shooters. Again, they found nothing that a reasonable prosecutor would have pursued. Unfortunately for the shooters they were taken out by local police before being able to achieve their life-long desire of killing dozens of infidels for Muhammad- who-shall-remain-faceless. Omar Mateen was investigated too - twice. Finding that “no...

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who has faced widespread condemnation for agreeing to speak at a conference alongside Christian conservatives who have denounced homosexuality and gay rights, used his speech to the group on Friday to warn of the costs of intolerance. His remarks in Orlando, Fla., not far from the site of the massacre at a gay nightclub in June, were his most extensive yet in public on the subject of prejudice against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. And he struck a notably softer tone than during his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, during which he repeatedly...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” CNN Political Commentator and Adviser to a pro-Hillary Super PAC Paul Begala stated that the Clinton campaign should disavow the support it received from Seddique Mateen, the father of the perpetrator of the Pulse nightclub terrorist attack, who showed up to a Clinton rally, and “fire the advance person.” Begala said that if he could advise them, he would tell the Clinton campaign to “disavow him. She doesn’t want his support, and her campaign doesn’t want his support. It may take a while to get their act together. Candidate’s here. The vice presidential...

Hillary Clinton spoke to a crowd in Kissimee, just south of Orlando. She was supposed to be talking jobs, but started the speech off paying tribute to those affected by the Pulse Nightclub shooting. "I know how many people, families, loved ones, and friends are still grieving, and we will be with you as you rebuild your lives." WPTV happened to notice the man, who has a mustache and was wearing a red hat, behind Secretary Clinton. That's Seddique Mateen. We asked Mateen what he was thinking about when Clinton spoke about the Orlando incident. "We've been cooperating with the...

Holy cow, this is EPIC. Lets see if the national media reports on this story. The Florida DNC sent a rally invitation to the father of the Orlando Pulse Nightclub Terrorist, Omar Mateen. Well apparently Omar’s father, Seddique Mateen, a full-throated DNC supporter, accepted the invitation and was caught on camera sitting directly behind Hillary Clinton and cheering for her during the event in Kissimmee.
